Sorry about your amber scarf. I bet it ran off with my first vocal recorder, my long green sock, and my brother's first piggy-bank, the latter which went missing in 1969.
Nice, and if your furniture is at all like mine, it's probably also hiding a single sock or two. :) Loved the bit about finding a breath and not knowing whether it's "yours or mine" - something deeply sensual about this, I think...
Very nice...as always..Gautami..
ReplyDeleteright, what does happen to all those experiences? good answer!
ReplyDeleteThe personification of the couch is well done; and the reference to Pandora's Box fitting when considering memories.
ReplyDeleteCouches have great appetites. Like Dustus, I love the personification of the couch.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and creative! Just like walls, if only the couch could talk...
ReplyDeleteThat explains so much! I'll check my couch and see if it ate my long term memory (as well as my spare time).
ReplyDeleteGreat 55, Gautami!
haha...hoping i find a little change inmy couch...nice ref to pandoras box...

ReplyDeleteAh—what you found is a story in itself
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Let's hope the couch never talks! Does it take socks from the dryer too?
ReplyDeleteOh how true! I love it, specially the reference to the legendary Pandora - if we hope, we will always find because of the indestructibility of matter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great 55 - the personification of the furniture is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSo many times one loses one's breath, and now we learn, it remains.
ReplyDeletelolsssss..

It's enough to make you think twice about sticking your hand down between the pillows, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteAn excellent reference, Gautami.

Exemplary, clever.

ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable...and what would the amber scarf say if ever found?
ReplyDeleteI liked the pathos in the situation.
ReplyDeletebut as a person with major foot in the mouth syndrome...this can actually be a scary situation to be in, for me. :p
What is it about the strange appetites of sofas? This captures a strange truth very well.
ReplyDeleteVoracious appetite indeed! And they have swallowed my remotes, phones and even laptop power cords. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI really like the simplicity of this one - the images are little capsules of a relationship.
ReplyDeleteone of my favorites of yours. clear, yet mysterious. lovely balance.
